§ 15.17.010. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that when taxpayer-funded benefits are extended by the city to private businesses, they are used in a way that benefits the interests of the city as a whole by creating jobs that keep workers and their families out of poverty. This chapter therefore requires the city, its contractors and subcontractors to pay their employees a wage that will enable a full-time worker to support a family at a level that meets basic needs and avoids economic hardship.
